Net loss per diluted share was $0.00 compared to net income per diluted share of $0.63 in the third quarter of 2022. Third quarter adjusted net income1 per diluted share was $0.16 compared to adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.74 in the third quarter of 2022.

(1)

Amortization of software as a service assets is reported in selling, general and administrative expense. Note, amortization of software as a service assets was included as an adjustment to net income during transitory periods ending with fiscal 2022 and is only considered an adjustment to EBITDA going forward to be consistent with the treatment of depreciation and amortization.

(2)

Accelerated depreciation for the existing systems being replaced by the upgraded PeopleReady technology platform.

(3)

Costs associated with upgrading legacy PeopleReady technology.

(4)

Cost associated with our CEO transition, primarily related to accelerated vesting of stock awards.

(5)

Other adjustments for the 13 weeks ended September 24, 2023 primarily include workforce reduction costs of $1.5 million ($0.8 million in cost of services and $0.7 million in selling, general and administrative expense) and adjustments to COVID-19 government subsidies of $0.5 million. Other adjustments for the 13 weeks ended September 25, 2022 include costs of $0.2 million incurred while transitioning to a new third party administrator for workers’ compensation.

(6)

Tax effect of the adjustments to U.S. GAAP net income (loss). The tax effect includes the application of our statutory rate of 26% to all taxable / deductible adjustments. Note, prior periods were reported using the effective rate for the respective period and have been recast to conform to the current presentation for comparability. Please refer to the reconciliations on the financial results page under the investor relations section of our website for additional information on comparable historical periods.

(7)

These third-party processing fees are associated with generating hiring tax credits.
